Case: Femur reconstruction with only the distal femoral remnant is challenging because of poor bone volume required for stem fixation. Although proximal femoral replacement, total femur replacement, allograft prosthesis composite, and custom porous tantalum implants are options, hybrid fixation enhanced by endosteal reconstruction with three-dimensional (3D)-printed porous titanium rings to reconstruct the femur without supporting isthmus has not been described. We report 2 cases with satisfactory 34- and 22-month follow-up results of hybrid fixation enhanced by endosteal reconstruction with 3D-printed porous titanium rings.
Conclusion: This novel method provides a solution to revise loosened femoral endoprosthesis with only distal femoral remnant.

3D-printed shell complete dentures as a diagnostic aid for implant planning and fabricating interim restorations for complete arch rehabilitations: A case series.

3D-printed shell complete dentures generated from a scan of the patient's existing prostheses can simplify and expedite the surgical planning and interim restoration design for complete arch rehabilitations. Three patients were rehabilitated with endosteal implants, and interim restorations were generated from the contours of the 3D-printed shell complete dentures used as diagnostic aids. This case series report presents the recommended protocol and its clinical progression, in addition to clinical and radiographic images of the treatment outcomes.

Pediatric patients diagnosed with a femoral osteosarcoma undergoing oncologic resection who are ineligible for limb preservation reconstruction or rotationplasty are offered an above knee amputation (AKA). Limb amputations in the skeletally immature patient poses particular problems specific to endosteal bone overgrowth and spiking.

The volume of human carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotope data produced in archaeological research has increased markedly in recent years. However, knowledge of bone remodelling, its impact on isotope variation, and the temporal resolution of isotope data remains poorly understood. Varied remodelling rates mean different elements (e.

Introduction: Maxillary reconstruction is often a challenging task for the surgeons because of the complex anatomy. However, with the advances in virtual surgical planning (VSP) and 3D printing technology there is a new avenue for the surgeons which offers a suitable alternative to conventional flap-based reconstructions.
Patients And Methods: In this article, we have described 4 case scenarios which were managed with the help of VSP and additive manufacturing technology for complex maxillary reconstruction procedures.

Purpose: To evaluate and assess the indicators of bone metabolism markers osteocalcin and -Cross-Laps in blood serum as a tool for monitoring bone regeneration and determining the time of implantation in patients after mandibulectomy and reconstruction of a free fibular flap with subsequent endosteal implants.
Materials And Methods: Forty-eight patients in a 6-year period participated in this study, due to resection for tumors. All patients underwent reconstruction with fibula free flap after tumor resection, 4-6 months after osteoectomy, dental implants were installed with further orthopedic rehabilitation.
